fails in summer from drought or other
causes we have q supply of fodder
corn and give our COWS a iced of this
once or twice g. day; many of our pat
rons also feed bran or middlings to
keep up continuous flow of milk and
also of good quality. Every farmer
can secure this result by planting say
one-fourth of an acre per COW of South
ern white corn in drills three feet apart.
and kernels from six to eight inches
apart in the drills. The variety will
keep in perfect feeding condition all
time from July Is to October 1, or
until frosts will kill it. Northern va
rieties Of corn ripen too early and the
leaves will die too soon. This feed
keeps the quality OF butter so perfect
that our city experts, who purchase
the Jefferson creamery butter, can
not tell when the change is made. No
dairy farmer can afford to do with
out it, nor should he neglect this crop
of eneilage corn for winter dairying.
The common white corn OF the South
only costs from 40 to so cents per
bushel in Louisville or Nashville. and
farmers will do best to combine and
secure car load at q time for seed.
Eight quarts per acre is plenty for
seed. only used six quarts and have
q splendid crop to-day which [ am now
putting in silo, after having used what
I needed since July Is for dry feed.

Dynamite Explosion.

A Wheeling, w. Va, special of the
18th says: Quite furry was occasioned
in this city this evening by the appear
ance OF the Budget, the local Labor
organ, in which it's editor, John Ehr-
mann, took very decided grounds in
what he termed the "iniustice" of the
Chicago executions and denounced the
vindication of the law in this case as
tending to rivet the chains of slavery
upon the hands of the laboring classes.
He declared that the executed men
were martyrs and that the cause for
which they died would continue to
flourish
The publication excited a good deal Of
adverse comment, but little importance
was attached to it until 1880 this evening
when the entire upper portion of the
city was startled by deep explosion
which shook houses in the vicinity of
Eighth and Main Streets and ratified
windows for long distance. A tre-
mendous crowd was soon attracted to
the scene and an investigation by the
police showed that a dynamite cartridge
had been exploded in the gutter along
side the residence of Jacob Wise, a re-
tired capitalist. The force of the explo-
sion tore out the paving stones of the
gutter, breaking one of them in two, but
did no damage to the adjoining prop
erty.
Miss Riester, who lives just across the
street, says she saw two men stop a mo-
ment on the sidewalk where the explo-
sion took place and then run off up the
street, an instant before the crash came.
There is as yet no clue to their identity.

by deviating from g. straight line, it is

by deviating from straight line, it is
often best to do it.
Improvements can be made on most
of farms by covering theroughest por-
tions of them with useful trees, or if
trees already grow in these places,
then they may be greatly improved by
cutting out the trees that are of no
value for timber, and by preserving
those that are, or by replacing the USE
less trees cut with trees that will make
timber. AS this is g. work that re-
quires good judgment, it should al
ways be done by the farmer himself,
or under his immediate supervision.
The cutting out of useless trees can be
done in the winter when the farmer
has leisure, but the transplanting of
trees must be done at 8, more busy
season; yet this, if donein the autumn,
can be done at odd Jobs when leisure
hour will admit. Thus far the farmer
has not given attention enough to-
woodlands, or to covering the
rougher portions Of the farm with
trees that will eventually make good
timber. It is important that some
effort should be made to separate the
useful from the useless trees that grow
on the farm. The time is coming
when thefarmers will be as particular
to weed out the useless trees IN their
woodlands as they are now to weed
out the useless plants in their gardens;
and the time is coming when all the.
rough waste places on the farm will be
covered with trees adapted to the
soil, and Of q quality to be Of value
as timber when grown. It should be
the aim Of the farmer to have every
portion Of it, whatever may it's char
acter be, covered with the crop best
adapted to the particular soil and To-
cation. In this way, and IN this way
only, can farm be made TO produce
the largest income for the outlay that
is possible Practical Farmer.

Decreasing Acreage.

The experiment of the Kentucky to.
bacco planters, in reducing their acre
age by voluntary agreement for the
purpose of increasing their profits,
seems this year to have been a success.
Owing to droughts in other states the
deficient Kentucky crop will sell for
more money than any full crop has
done for years. But the plan of de-
creasing production in order to raise
prices is one that farmers generally
cannot safely follow. Tobacco is ex-
ceptional. This country grows more
than any other, and Kentucky pro-
duces large share of the crop. This
localizing of a great industry is not
true of any other important farm
product. Generally when the farmers
of one state Or locality resolve to cur
tail production, they lessen their own
profits without at all affecting the
price of what they have to sell.

The State Elections.

Returns received up to a late hour on
the night of the Sth, give the following
results in the different states: In New
York Fred Grant and the balance of the
Republican ticket are defeated-an I'M
usually heavy vote being cast. In
Dakota it appears that small ma
iority voted for the division of
the territory. The number is
estimated at 10000. In Maryland the
Democrats lead by about 10000. The
Republicans carry Nebraska by about
10000, and that party also carried Rhode
Island. The vote on prohibition in
Oregon resulted in the defeat of the
amendment Ohio has reelected
Foraker by $4,000 plurality. Gov. Ames
was reelected in Massachusetts,
as was also Gov. Larrabee
in Iowa. The Republicans Of Penn
sylvania claim a plurality for Haft
for state treasurer Of $4,000. In Vir-
ginia a Democratic legislature was elect
ed and in Mississippi there was the
same result. In Chicago peculiar
state of things exist. The principal
contest was for Judge of the superior
court, the leading candidates being
Judge Gary, who has become we'll known
as the Judge who tried the Anarchists,
and Capt. Black, counsel for the con-
demned men. The vote was exec option
ally small, Gary being elected by $4,000
to 5 1000

Subsoiling for Corn.

Farmers are generally agreed that
shallow blowing is the best for the
corn crop. In so far as this keeps
vegetable and other fertility near the
surface it is all right. But sometimes
there comes a year when drought
makes deeper tillage necessary
Such a season the past one has been
in the West. The habit which West
ern farmers have ofski mining over the
surface with gang plows makes a. dry
season there much more injurious to
corn and other crops than it is where
deeper tillage prevails. When every
thing is favorable, the blowing three
or four inches deep without subsoiling
does we'll enough; but this year it
would have paid we'll to plant fewer
acres and prepare the land for these
by suosoiling. This involves con.
siderable extra expense, doubling til e
cost of blowing; but it makes the
farmer to some extent independent OF
the weather. In g. very wet season
the land if subsoiled while dry has for
time an outlet beneath to carry off
surplus surface water.

ONLY 1.23 per cent. of the nations
registered bonds are owned by for
eigners. Notwithstanding the fact that
the total amount of these bonds out
standing is 1858, 100000. This in
formation, which is given to the pub
lie by the register OF the treasury, is
pleasing intelligence to Americans. A
few years ago a large portion of these
securities was held abroad. In the
United States the national debt has
never been considered a national
blessing, but as it still exists, it is Pc
arly gratifying to know that near

The 5OOth performance of "Faust"
was given in Paris recently, the oc-
caslon taking the form of festival in
honor of M. Gounod, who himself
welded the conductors baton. The
event marks an epoch in the history
OF this magnificent work, which for
the twenty odd years of it's existence
has maintained it's hold firm and un-
shaken upon the hearts OF music-lovors
as among the grandest of operate
creations. The present popularity OF
"Faust" is not compliment to the
Judgment of the critics at the time the
opera was produced, the composer
having carried it about with him for
years unable to find manager willing
to present it, and whenit was present
ed it was spoken of quite coldly.

At St. Louis on the 10th, Joseph Hag-

Fifth National bank, entered the home
of Henry Overstolz, president of the
bank and attempted to assassinate him.
Overstolz is dangerously i'll, and when
Haggerty was denied admission to the
room he fired two shots through the
door in the direction of the sick chamber
and scared the other people in the house
neighbours Haggerty was arrested.
He was very much under the influence of
liquor. He had $1,000 in the broken

Cost of Wintering Stock.

At this season of the year it is i'm
portant that farmers should seriously
consider the cost of wintering stock.
If they did this undoubtedly many
animals would be sold for what they
would bring, or possibly killed as not
worth wintering. There is no use in
trying to make believe it will not cost
much to winter stock even in the
poorest manner. It does not really
make much difference what the feed is,
the cost for the best is little more
than Cor the poorest. Grain is con-
sidered dear, while straw and corn
stalks are thought to cost little or
nothing. Yet near g. market straw
always sells for more than it's feeding
value. OF late years grain has gener-
ally been cheaper than hay. Happy
is the farmer whose stock is all SO
good that he need raise no question
as to whether it will pay to winter it.
OF course, having good stock he will
feedgrain pretty largely to get as
muchas possible out of it. This will
make rich manure so that both stock
and farm will improve together. The
manwho stints his stock in winter,
either in quantity or quality,ls stand
ing in his own light, though it takes
both good feeding and good stock to
make positive profit in keeping ami
mails through our long Northern
winters.

that cholera may appear in this

MANY REFOhMs DEMANDED.
The Dominion Asks q Revolution in
Government Matters.

TORONTO, Ont, Nov. 10.-The resolu-
tions adopted at the inter-provincial
conference held at Quebec are made pub
lie to-day. This conference was attended
by representatives of the five chief
provinces of the Dominion and owing to
this fact and that it was the first inter-
provincial conference since the confeder-
alton, its conclusions are considered of
great importance. The conference de-
clared for the limiting of federal veto
power, and advised that it should be ex-
ercised only as the imperial veto is used
in relation to the Dominion acts; recon-
mended that senators should be nomi-
mated by local legislatures, and should
not sit for life; formulated a plan for
Encouragement of the financial basis of
union, under which, up to GER
tain limits, subsidies to provinces
shall be payable according to population
as determined by the last decennial CEN
sus; favored providing facilities for a
speedy settlement of the disputes be-
tween central and local governments;
condemned the disalowance of the
Manitoba railway acts by the Domln ion
government, and favoring unrestricted
reciprocity with the United States.

IT appears that Rev. Charles A.
Berry, of Wolvernampton, England,
is the man decided upon to "rattle

Barley Growing Exhaustive,

There is popular idea that barley
is less exhaustive even than oats. It's
roots do not run so far, and presum-
ably it does not get so much from the
soil, as it's leaves are broader than
those of oats. But practically this
advantage is more than balanced by
the fact that barley is generally sold
from the farm, while O. larger part of
the oat crop is generally kept as feed
for farm stock, and thus comes back
to the soil in manure. II barley were
SO fed it would be less exhaustive; but
for cheap feed neither oats nor barley
can compare with corn.

The Color of Butter,

It is not easy with ordinary COWS
to make yellow butter after frosts
have injured the grass. Some native
COWS make better cclored butter than
others, resembling the Jersey in this
respect. Corn at this season is plen-
tiful, and if soft nubbins are given to
COWS they will increase both yield and
quality Of the butter. Some have an
idea that yellow corn is best. but
the color is not so natural.
Possibly the yellow has trife
more of the fat-forming material than
white corn, but the latter is good
enough.
